In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – a few small lumps are okay.
Preheat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a circular shape if necessary.
Cook each pancake for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on the other side.
Remove the cooked pancakes and place them on a plate. Cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while cooking the remaining batches.
Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
